Moderator note -
I had originally locked this topic as I don't feel it's entirely prudent to give legal advice if we're less than qualified to do so. However after some thought I've decided to let it fly. Please know, though, that anyone undertaking this type of project should check with local/state/federal authorities or certified legal counsel about potential legal ramifications.
I've also modified the subject line for the sake of clarity.
Cheers all, happy posting!
